Gotta' Get Away

by Ben Bledsoe

on An Insomniac's Guide to a Lonely Heart (2005)

Sometimes I wish I could run away
I feel like I'm alive until I'm told
What I'm supposed to say
I search this place to find my space
Where nothing else gets through

I know it's hard to break free
To follow every part of my heart
And do what's best for me
So I'll take that chance at one more dance
Don't follow my lead
Take it from me

I gotta get away
Something must be wrong
Because I seem to go against the flow
So I'm jumping off this train
I gotta get away
To someplace I can not be found
I'll keep moving on and moving out
Till the whole world starts to fade
I gotta get away

Stuck out in the rain
My life is like a photograph
Slightly out of frame
Where the colors fade, there's a water stain
Welcome to my life
It's my paradise

Where I can get away
Something must be wrong
Because I seem to go against the flow
So I'm jumping off this train
I gotta get away
To someplace I can not be found
I'll keep moving on and moving out
Till the whole world starts to fade

When I'm alone
And all my thoughts can be my own
Solitary ecstasy
Sets me free

I gotta get away
Something must be wrong
Because I seem to go against the flow
So I'm jumping off this train
I gotta get away
To someplace I can not be found
I'll keep moving on and moving out
Till the whole world starts to fade

I gotta get away
Something must be wrong
Because I seem to go against the flow
So I'm jumping off this train
I gotta get away
To someplace I can not be found
I'll keep moving on and moving out
Gonna lock myself away
No time to play
World starts to fade
I gotta get away
